David Kirchman was born and raised in a West De Pere, small town near Green Bay, Wisconsin. He received a B.A. in Biology from Lawrence University and the Ph.D. from Harvard University. After postdoctoral work at the University of Georgia and the University of Chicago, he moved to the University of Delaware where he eventually became the Maxwell P. and Mildred H. Harrington Professor of Marine Science, before retiring in the Covid-19 spring of 2020. He is also an Alison Professor, the University’s highest honor for its faculty. His work took him to the Arctic Ocean and Antarctica and many oceans in-between. He got seasick only on some of those trips. He is a fellow of the American Academy of Microbiology and the Association for the Sciences of Limnology and Oceanography, the editor of the “bible” of microbial oceanography, "Microbial Ecology of the Oceans," and author of "Processes in Microbial Ecology." His most recent book, "Dead Zones: the loss of oxygen from rivers, lakes, and the oceans," to be published by Oxford University Press, will be out in early 2021.
